In reply to the discussion: President Trump wants new Commanders stadium to be named after him [View all]LudwigPastorius

Bald-faced bullshit!
On July 27, 2023, the United States Congress introduced the D.C. Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium Campus Revitalization Act, which proposed transferring control of the old RFK stadium land to the DC city government through a 99-year lease and permitting mixed-use development. The act was passed by the House of Representatives on February 28, 2024, passed by the Senate on December 21, and signed into law by president Joe Biden on January 6, 2025
In fact, in July Trump tried to block building the new stadium unless the Commanders returned to the racist "Redskins" brand.

NFL stadiums aren't named after well known people any longer, huge corporations pay teams and stadium owners

I say they should do it, put his name in gaudy cheap plastic gold lettering on the outside.
